N.Ireland doesn't win much in footy, so when they beat England in 2005, it was a significant moment in the team's history. The event has been recorded on a gable wall on the Newtownards Road.

At Belfast T.I.O. Michael and I met Stephanie Swail who kindly stamped and signed my stage 19 map.

Stage 19 cycle was abandoned due to the 75mph winds.



With Stage 19 abandoned Michael, Darcy and myself contemplate what to do next?
